Description: An illuminating and thought - provoking history of the growth of Hispanic American Republican voters in the past half century and their surprising impact on US politics updated with new material reflecting on the 2020 election In the lead - up to every election cycle pundits predict that Latino Americans will overwhelmingly vote in favor of the Democratic candidate. And it's true Latino voters do tilt Democratic. Hillary Clinton won the Latino vote in a landslide Barack Obama crushed Mitt Romney among Latino voters in his reelection and four years earlier the Democratic ticket beat the Mc Cain - Palin ticket by a margin of more than two to one. But those numbers belie a more complicated picture. Because of decades of investment and political courtship as well as a nuanced and varied cultural identity the Republican party has had a much longer and stronger bond with Hispanics. How is this possible for a party so associated with draconian immigration and racial policies? In The Hispanic Republican historian and political commentator Geraldo Cadava illuminates the history of the millions of Hispanic Republicans who since the 1960s have had a significant impact on national politics. Intertwining the little understood history of Hispanic Americans with a cultural study of how post World War II Republican politicians actively courted the Hispanic vote during the Cold War (especially Cuban migr s) and during periods of major strife in Central America (especially during Iran - Contra) Cadava offers insight into the complicated dynamic between Latino liberalism and conservatism which when studied together shine a crucial light on a rapidly changing demographic that will impact American elections for years to come.
